Dreams are wishes

A narrative ring created to hold the memory of days shared between a mother and her son

The creation

I sogni son desideri is a narrative ring in white and pink gold with a wide, linear band, brought to life by mobile elements that introduce light and movement. The name engraved on the surface immediately establishes a personal dimension, while the heart and circular pendant with diamonds they accompany every hand gesture.

The composition maintains a simple and readable language, in which solids, voids and small movements build an intimate yet recognisable presence.

We preserve a memory in a new form

This creation shows how an object tied to memory can become the origin of a new, bespoke narrative piece of jewellery.

I personally handle the narrative, design, prototyping, and production in my workshop in Altamura and online.

Narrative jewel

A ring chosen during a trip may seem like a small keepsake, until time invests it with a deeper value. In “I sogni son desideri”, the engraved name stays close to the hand, the heart accompanies the movement, and the three points of light hold the presence of shared days. The new material does not erase the origin of the memory: it protects it, gives it structure and allows that memory to continue to be worn with discretion.

I sogni son desideri belongs to my archive of completed works and stems from a memory that belongs exclusively to the client. It is not a design to be replicated: every new project is redesigned starting from the entrusted story, the person's proportions, the materials, the intended use and the desired level of privacy.

In my workshop in Altamura I personally oversee every step, to ensure the piece of jewel retains its meaning without turning it into a standard formula.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The project stems from a ring bought by the client with her son during a trip to Disneyland, which over time became the tangible symbol of days spent together. Following its loss, the mother entrusted me with that reference, asking me to preserve its recognisable features in a new creation.

I worked to ensure that the name, pendants and inscription maintained their connection with the memory, transforming them through more mindful proportions, materials and construction solutions.

Materials and finishes

I developed the structure through 3D modelling and prototyping, verifying the relationship between the band, engravings and suspended elements before final production. After lost-wax casting in 18-carat white gold, the natural diamonds were set using flush setting.

Polishing defines the surfaces and accompanies the movement of the pendants, while quality control checks the joints, finishes and overall stability.

Certifications and registrations

Technical expertise, professional registrations and qualifications have accompanied the development of my work in the goldsmithing and jewellery field.

Awards and recognition

Since 2009, I have guided private clients and couples through the creation of their jewellery in my atelier. Over thirty years of goldsmithing experience guide every stage: listening, design, workshop, quality control, and delivery. Awards, mentions, and accolades tell the story of the artisanal, technical, and creative journey that underpins my work. Each badge links to an in-depth article on the blog.

How is a piece of jewellery born?

A piece of jewellery can be inspired by a specific request or by a story worth cherishing. It is Custom when it starts with a shape, a stone, a material or a style to be crafted to measure. It becomes narrative When transforming a memory, symbol or personal passage into substance, proportion and meaning. Wedding rings, rings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets can follow both paths. In the Jewellery section, you can discover which one best suits your idea.
